Jacks and Ella

Here are some pictures from when we were in Irving last week. Jackson spent the day with Ella and her grandma. You can see that the Tods picked up right where they left off!

And I am long overdue for some belly shots. (FYI, I totally hate the word "belly.") These were taken a few weeks ago on my birthday. I have grown quite a bit since then.

See, I really am pregnant! I took this specifically for the blog but was embarrassed by my...proportions. I'm a little more balanced now.

Really random pic, but you can see the bump. This was from the tea room where my LPM sisters took me for my birthday lunch. I was opening my presents, hence the pot of fall mums and the two necklaces I have on.

You can get a more current glimpse if you take a peek at Debra's pics from Monday. Baby Girl is growing! We are 26 weeks tomorrow.

Glad to see a picture that shows more than pregnant girl's face. 'Manda - you are a beautiful GLOWING pregnant girl! The pictures of Jackson and Ella are adorable! Is that Johnnie beside you and Melissa in the LPM pictures? Guess I didn't realize she was working there. Cool! Love her new blog! Sure seems fitting to see you and Melissa sandwiched between her and your mom. Made me go back and look at childhood pics of you two and her boys in Feathers... You've been blessed with lots of laughter and good memories over the years, haven't you? That's how Jackson will remember his friendship with Ella someday too! Blessings to all.

Those pics are adorableDon't you wish we had arranged marriages and you could just know that Ella would marry Jackson - that would be so fun!!Your baby belly is adorable!And the girls are just a bloomin aren't they - heheDon't worry both times I was prego I was a size E!! Yes and I know this b/c I was professionally measured for a nursing bra - my hubby about fell over from laughing!!Enjoy being pregnant b/c it goes by so fast and it truly is such a miracleBlessingsKim

i have two little girls, and we're expecting #3 in may. (God surprised us with this one!) so far my pregnancy has been exactly the same as the other two--i'm so curious to know if, since you're going to have one of each, both of your pregnancies have been the same or different up to now?

The pictures of Jackson and Ella are so sweet. It cracked me up that Jackson had his hand on Ella's leg. What a flirt! Oh, they are so precious! And, you look awesome! I think I skipped that cute "Baby Bump" stage by being pregnant with twins!

Amanda, you look amazing!! You should definitely do more belly, I mean, prego snap shots (*smile*). You'll be glad you did. When I was really big with my last baby I have pictures of my other kids kissing my tummy (is that a better word?). I cherish those pictures now. So take lots and lots and lots of pictures!!!!

The two things I like best about these pictures are:Them in the rocking chair and Ella has her arm around Jackson's arm and his hand is resting on her leg. The one where Ella is gazing at Jackson. Cracks me up!! I love that they are still sweet friends.

amandait was great to meet you too!thanks for trying to help me...i still can't believe i got lost? ridiculous!you and your mom and sister are even more stunning in person!i can't believe you are 26 weeks already...your tummy seems tiny.but then again i gained 60 lbs with my pregnancies so i probably don't know what "normal" looks like:)

excited for you to have a girl!it is way too fun to shop for girl clothes...blessings!

aw, amanda, you look great! i am about to have to visit the pea in the pod, i think. (is 16 weeks too early for that?)btw, i wear the regular gap long and leans and i was SO so happy to hear you say gap makes maternity ones! ... my rubber bands going around the button holes are about to snap ... jackson is getting so big! wow!

Oh don't even fret - you look so dang cute! :) Is that one of those new teething necklaces you're wearing? I've seen them - so elegant and yet functional. I wish they'd had them around when I was pregnant!

Little Momma, your baby bump is soo cute! I love it!:) 26 weeks!!! My, the Lord is Good! Baby Girl aka Little Siesta will be here before you know it!:) Ya'll looked like you were having such a fun time in those pics:)

Besides a baby, what pregnant women get in return for surrendering their waistlines is nine months of thick, glorious hair. It’s a beautiful thing. However, when Baby is just a few months old (about the time Mommy is seeing hints of her returning waistline) it all falls out. Soon her face is framed by the re-growth—lovely inch-long hairs called baby bangs. This blog is named for that charming little phenomenon.
